Chapter 247: 247 242 次の日が忙しい時に限り何か起きる

There are many times when silence would be nice.

Especially when working.

You can concentrate on your work without being disturbed by strange noise.

In this day and age, it is difficult to find a space of silence at work.

The more people there are in a big company, the more people there are, the more noise there is.

The more people you have, the more noise you will hear, ranging from the smallest sounds of moving objects, to conversations between people, to the sounds of work from a distance.

On a different scale, even small and medium-sized businesses are similar.

Regardless of how much or how little there is, it is difficult to create a space of silence.

Even in the mountains, the sound of wind and birdsong are familiar to us.

If you want to create a truly quiet space, you should make a soundproof room.

But for all the difficulty of forming such a space, there are many benefits of silence.

One is sleep.

A quiet space promises a better and more restful sleep.

One is the improvement of concentration, as I mentioned earlier.

You can concentrate on the task without being distracted.

One and many more could be mentioned, but we will skip them for now.

Now I do not want to talk about silence.

Then, I guess some of you may have experienced that silence can be painful.

Well, you may have guessed by the fact that I have been talking about it in my head for so long.

Jiro-sama, would you like some more tea?

"Yes, thank you.

My stomach has been churning under the strain of the silence.

After the question and answer session, I managed to finish my dinner, which was made heavy by Instructor Fusio's last words, and entered the lodging facilities prepared in my room, which was the supervisor's private area at this time.

I was not allowed to enter alone, and of course I was accompanied.

As if the timing was right, after dinner Tatte-san came to pick me up, and Kaido looked at me and Tatte-san in turn, aghast at the first meeting, and was beyond smiling, thinking that Kitamiya and Minami have a connection to female relations again.

I've had some kind of connection with women since I joined this company, so I don't blame them for such a reaction.

But I'd like to tell you that I didn't get any of the same looks as Minami and the others.

Sadly, however, the misunderstanding was spurred on by the instructors teasing me to have fun.

The scene of Kitamiya explaining to Amelia, who tilts her head in wonderment, that it's always the same, makes me sad that I'm seen in that way, but looking back on female relationships, it's undeniable, and instead of detesting them, you accept them and follow your male instincts to work harder, no matter what you say. No way.

At the very least, I'll have to think about how to solve the misunderstanding later, so I thought back to the flow of events up to this point, and while Tatte-san, the person who brought me here, gives me more tea after dinner, I see the supervisor sitting on the same sofa as the fine sofa I'm sitting on in front of, drinking tea with no expression on his face.

......

"......

All I could hear was the sound of tea drinking.

Normally, a supervisor would have a small talk or two, and then a teasing or teasing or a joke or two would come out, but this reaction with Tatte by your side.

There has been no conversation since the first time I was invited and greeted.

Thanks to this, I myself just drank tea silently as time passed by.

And Tatte, who set up this event, said.

"?　What is it?

"No.

When you look at each other, you just smile and laugh, and you don't change the atmosphere of the place, as if you have lost your positive attitude when you tried to set up this place.

It is only a posture of stillness.

Honestly, please don't give me this tense silence.

To be honest, I'm feeling the urge to return to my room and get under the covers.

......

"......

Now, I'll say it again, loud and clear.

The silence is hard.

I had a bad feeling before I came in here, but I didn't want to think it would be that way.

But fortunately, the silence is not unbearable.

If time passes and you finish your tea, you can indeed have some time off.

If you keep your expression as you are, we can go through this without causing any more damage as we had planned.

Just.

......

Part of me wonders if it's right to spend this time in silence.

If you ask me how I get along with the director, I can answer that I'm not bad.

They care about me, and I'd say we're close, but I'm not sure.

I'm at a loss for words if you ask me if I do.

I say that one reason for this is that I know too much about her.

I've known the supervisor since I joined the company, so it's natural that I don't know a lot of things about her.

However, looking back, I think that I did not have the opportunity to get to know her, and I half assume that I did not make an effort to get to know her.

I had almost no contact with her in my daily (private) life.

We only occasionally have daily conversations at work.

I have a strong impression that the supervisors I know are always at work.

So what about their private lives?

The only private information I know about her is what Instructor Fusio and Ms. Tatte said.

I don't know the rest.

The words that crossed my mind made me curious.

And that curiosity tells me.

This was my chance.

The thought gives me more options, more room to think.

I'm less tense than before, and when I can quietly turn my gaze toward the supervisor, I can naturally look at her.

She's stronger than me and has supported the Demon King's Army for a long time.

I don't mean a strange interest in the opposite s*x, but rather a simple question as to whether she has normal hobbies and interests, and if so, what hobbies she has.

I've heard that the two instructors also have hobbies, so I'm curious to know what she does for fun.

"Supervisor.

"What's ......?

That's why, naturally, I put the tea cup in hand and called her without any tension.

In contrast to me, she replied after a pause as if to tell me not to make a bad conversation.

Her piercing gaze looks straight at me.

It's overwhelming, but not hostile, and I know that her gaze doesn't frighten me, so I think a light conversation is in order.

No, I just thought it would be a good idea to not talk about it.

Is there something you want to ask me?

Yes, well. When I cool down, I never had a chance to talk to you in person like this before.

That's why I'm going to try a little challenge.

If it's not convenient for you to hear it as an individual, stand in front of them as a subordinate.

I'm not sure what position I'm sitting here in, but I'm still going to step in a little bit.

We know each other, or maybe the supervisor knows a lot about me, but I don't know anything about the supervisor.

"...... What are you going to do about it? You know that. You and I are nothing more than a boss and a subordinate, nothing more.

That being said, I can only say yes.

The supervisor's words are correct, as he speaks calmly and without loosening his expression.

Although the supervisor is evaluating me, it's only as a dungeon tester, Jiro Tanaka, that I am evaluating him as a man.

I'm not evaluating Jiro Tanaka as a man by any means.

So, in a sense, stepping into her private life is something you shouldn't do.

I'm in a relationship with Suela, Memoria and Himik, all of whom I can say are too good for me, and I have a child with Suela.

When Suela's child is born, we'll have a wedding with them and more.

Therefore, you should refrain from further intimacy with the opposite s*x than necessary.

So, it is the right choice for me as a member of society not to say a word and to choose silence again.

If I had to say it, I'd say it's something.

"......

But even though I understood in my head, my heart was not convinced, and I was spinning my words with the intention of getting along as a subordinate, not as a man.

I'm not thinking about what I want to do with the future of the relationship.

But if you ask me if I'm okay with this, I'll answer no, and that's all I said.

You are the first person who has ever tried to get to know me for that reason.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, but the supervisor's face, which had been tense up until now, relaxed into a smile, albeit with a hint of dismay.

It's a good thing," he said, "because I can't think of any other reason, and I don't know anything about him.

It's just like you to not lie. Okay, that's certainly something if you're asking such a mindless question.

It's hard to deny it, but please don't give me no ideas.

"What else is there?

Isn't there something about wrapping it up in an oblique manner?

No.

From there, the conversation became the same atmosphere we always have in the company.

My supervisor would point out my shortcomings, and I would laugh and say I'd do my best, while he would smile and dismiss the conversation with a smile on his face.

That's a tough one.

That's me. You know that you're having this conversation, don't you?

Yes, I knew it was coming.

"Do you know that and want this conversation, masochist?

"I'll only deny it.

The superintendent laughed and laughed, and I denied the important parts, and I got into my usual groove with mine.

What do you want to hear?

?

That's the topic you've been talking about. I'll answer your questions if I can.

The supervisor is looking at me with an amused smile as he leans back a bit on the sofa, as if to say, "I'm in a good mood now.

For me, I thought the conversation would continue as it was, and so I was puzzled.

Well, if you have questions, I'll ask them.

Well, then...do you have a sweet tooth?

What's that question?

I know the name of the cake shop when I brought you a cake before, and last time I was told to buy a cake, so I thought you liked sweets. So I thought you have a sweet tooth.

I thought I was asking a simple question, but the supervisor didn't seem to be expecting me to ask him a work question.

I wonder if he expected me to ask him some work-related questions.

This time, the supervisor's expression collapses for a moment as if he's been caught off guard, and then he asks my reasoning, and then he answers with a disgusted smile.

I'm a woman. I have a sweet tooth. Especially since we have a sweet tooth that we don't have over here. I won't bore you.

By the way, which do you like better, western or Japanese sweets?

I like them both, but I like the wagashi better. It's just the right amount of sweetness.

Do you also eat dorayaki?

I ate, but you've been asking a lot of questions about food for a while now.

The only thing we have in common is food.

Outside of work, whenever we talked about common topics of conversation, it was about food.

We who are not immortals, such as Instructor Fusio, have to eat to survive.

Then naturally we have preferences in food.

It will help you to understand that when you go out to eat in the future.

You and I need to talk business.

After hours, salarymen are creatures that don't want to talk about their work.

But the sad nature of the businessman is that the topic of work still comes up, and the supervisor laughs in an amused manner while holding his mouth.

I'm sure you're right. I see.

"Is it so funny?

You could have chosen to talk about magic or our technology. You could have chosen to talk about magic or our technology, but I didn't expect to hear about sweetness. When I asked you why you didn't choose it, I didn't want to talk to my boss about work.

How can you not laugh at this, I could only say to the supervisor, who was laughing happily, that's about it.

The supervisor was right, you could have asked about the magic, but as I said before, the only thing that came to mind right away was the topic of food.

There was no real reason, just a safe topic.

And the topic of businessmen's s*xuality is also true.

But the way he broached the subject seemed to please the supervisor.

Maybe it was just a businessman's instinct to reject the magic of work-related topics.

"You don't want to work after hours, do you?

"Yes.

I see, it's an interesting idea.

The supervisor nodded his head in satisfaction at the idea that it didn't exist in the other world, and this broke the silence, and time passed by, often changing the subject.

The conversation included.

"Well, magic can be used for such things, can't it?

Technology that can only be used in combat is rarer. There are even more cases where the military diverts things that were originally created in the process of making life more convenient.

There was also the topic of magic that the supervisor said was related to magic, but it was all about life, like air conditioners and microwaves.

It's not so much about work as it is about wisdom and usefulness in life.

It's all the same to me.

The same goes for food. We don't have Japanese curry, but we have stew here too. There are other dishes that are similar, but overall we are inferior in terms of food culture.

No, it's just that Japan is unusually multinational when it comes to food.

The conversation comes up because we've been to and from other worlds.

We sipped the tea that Tatte-san poured for us quietly, and before we knew it, a good amount of time had passed.

'Jiro-sama, it's time for you to go to sleep.

"Is it that time already?

Where did the initial nervousness disappear.

You find yourself relaxing, enjoying the conversation with the supervisor and forgetting about the passage of time, until Tatte points out to you that this time is over.

Although you are not without a sense of regret, it still cannot affect tomorrow's training, so you quietly put down the teapot and stand up slowly.

"Superintendent, I'm going to leave you now.

Well, you're wasting your time.

No, I enjoyed myself too.

Okay, Tatte. Take me to the door.

"I'll get right to it.

And when I asked him about it, Tatte, who was breathing hard, kept silent throughout the whole time and was only serving.

When I was wondering about this, I followed Tatte's lead and was going to leave.

Jiro.

The supervisor stops me from behind.

You turn around and look at the person who called you.

"Come in when you're not busy. Come hang out with me once in a while, not just with them.

I understand.

Thinking that they would be the instructors.

I nodded my head.

Jiro-sama, over here.

"Yes.

Without further ado, the supervisor signaled to Tatte with a glance that it was okay to go, and I left the room.

......

"......

There is no conversation between me and Tatté the whole way.

Then Tatte-san opens the door that borders the supervisor's private area and the communal area and walks out to see me off.

"Thank you for your time today.

"No.

"Hmm, was it a wonder I didn't ask you anything?

"...... was on your face?

For a few moments.

I wasn't sure if I was going to ask or not, and I was instantly going to leave, and then Tatte pointed out my question.

The supervisor and Tatte.

Apparently, demon creatures are generally good at reading other people's thoughts.

I'm no longer surprised, but I chuckle and ask if it was evident on her face.

No, Jiro-sama didn't show it.

She smiled and said my expression was the same as always.

Then I wondered why.

"That's how maids do it," she said.

She smiled and said so.

She smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your time, Miss.

"Thank you for a wonderful time, Miss.

I bowed my head slowly and knew that she was using me as a broth for the supervisor's relaxation.

I felt screwed, but I enjoyed it enough to realize that it was good for my boss.

I see.

"Yes.

I said goodbye to Tatte, who raised his head and returned to his room.

"You showed me, no questions asked.

Pretend not to notice that such a small thing was said.
